Parenthood 101

nia & i are watching melina and masons kids while they are enjoying beautiful hawaii.i've decided to post what i've learned so far during these past few days.here goes:

1.i firmly believe patience is a character in a person-one of which i do NOT have,but really need to work on
2.being PUNCTUAL is not always possible-you can try,but it's not always possible
3.there's learning experience in EVERYTHING
4.the volume switch on the car radio works well when crying is conducted in the back seat;) j/k
5.the house isn't always clean,but you know it's lived in by 3 beautiful,crazy kids
6.it's much easier to back the car in the driveway so it's good to go for the next day
7.TREATS are yummy-especially if you're the one spoiling them:)
8.MUSIC is AWESOME!
9.6:15 AM is way too early for someone to be up especially if they went to bed at10:30PM!
10.it hasn't been easy,but when nani yells my name when i walk through the front door,or sila tells me that my hair looks cute,or mese wants to lay next to me on the couch,it out weighs all the "tough" times.i love my nieces and nephews-crazy and all:)

You and Nia are amazing Aunts. Mese, Sila, and Nani are very lucky to have you. If you're not too tired from watching them I would love for you to come stay with my kids for a week! Just Joking!!!!
